Unfortunately, it is expensive and uses older hardware that doesn't fully support all the new stuff. It does well with most things though.
There are some people that find it getting to be buggy, while others still have a great experience after 3 years of ownership.
I personally think this is still too expensive for a device using 3 year old hardware, but I would buy a new version of this. However, I'm not sure if Nvidia will update the hardware again.
If you just want a device that works and you aren't worried about playing high quality Blu Ray rips, this is probably overkill - I'd probably look at the firetv, Roku, ccwgtv, Apple 4k, etc.
Here's a decent discussion on Reddit comparing the Apple TV 4k / Firecube 3 / Shield Pro TV - https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAn...are_
Edit - it's also at Best Buy and B&H Photo for the same price.

Cheap streamers and sticks choke on 4k content.

I've never experienced any bugs with any apps. I love playing my bluray rips from Kodi. I also noticed the other day when I was messing with Kodi on my son's Android TV that it couldn't play a rip of an HD DVD. The Shield TV had no problem.
Why is Nvidia taking so long to release the next model? Apple, Google, Amazon release models every year or 2, with newer generations coming out with better wifi, bluetooth, processors, features. Even people that LOVE this device are saying this model it is getting OLD for a tech product.

It's sad that the Shield is the only premium Google TV device out there. I've got ccgtv's and ts4k's and not an Apple person by any means, but I did just cave to an Apple TV for my living room setup. Haven't had any glitches, pauses or what not on my Channels DVR app since I started using it. I don't care about the polish of apps and what not. I don't care about ads, or at least the big banner one.
It's sad Google came out with a cheaper HD device and not a premium one. They could've come out with a premium one and update the basic to the newer chipset that supports AV1 and such and kept its dismal ram and storage.
Last gen's Apple TV is just premium compared to anything else under $100. Sadly I still need to keep the TS4k or ccgtv connected for when I want to cast or play my local workout stuff since I have zero plans to dive into anything Apple besides the ATV.
I looked up my old invoice and it was $180 (and did not come with a separate remote).
I guess with inflation over 7 years the $175 price is relatively cheaper.......
